A 72-year-old uncle of cricketer Virender Sehwag allegedly committed suicide in his residence in south-west Delhi, apparently depressed over prolonged illness, police said today.
 
Bhagat Singh was found hanging at his residence in Laxmi Garden in Najafgarh on Tuesday night by his son Lalit Singh, who informed police.
 
His body was taken to Rao Tula Ram Hospital where his post mortem was conducted.
 
Singh, who had kidney-related problems, was apparently depressed over prolonged illness. However, he left no suicide note.
 
He is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter.
